Evaluating expressions

In aplets

In the Symbolic view, a variable is a symbol only, and does

 

not represent one specific value. To evaluate a function in

 

Symbolic view, press (9$/_. If a function calls another

 

function, then (9$/_resolves all references to other functions

 

in terms of their independent variable.

4.

Press (9$/_

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Note how the values for

 

 

 

 

F1(X) and F2(X) are

 

 

 

 

substituted into F3(X).

 

 

In HOME

 

 

 

You can also evaluate any expression in HOME by entering it

 

into the edit line and pressing￿>(17(5@.

For example, define F4 as below. In HOME, type F4(9)and press >(17(5@. This evaluates the expression, substituting 9 in place of X into F4.
